Grade 10- Course Selection
College Counselors have reached out (by email or Zoom) to all Grade 10 students about course selection, including four days of open office hours (Zoom). Conversations revolved around the follow questions:
- To what countries are you thinking about applying for university?
- What are you thinking about studying?
- What courses have you signed up for next year?
- IB Diploma YES or NO
- What specific questions or concerns do you have about your courses and university plans?
If any students or parents have any questions relating to course selection and university study, please contact your student’s College Counselor
Grade 11 – Student Led Junior Conferences- are continuing!!!
We are still waiting for some Juniors to sign up for their Junior Conference. Did you, as a parent, have a Junior Conference yet with your child and College Counselor? If not, please ask your child to schedule.
Grade 12 – Student Visa for Study outside your Passport Country
Students should be checking their University website and respective Embassy about Student Visa’s (Canada, UK, U.S. etc.) For example: At the U.S. Embassy, the visa operations are currently closed and there is no date yet when it will reopen. Students should continue to check the U.S. Embassy website. College Counselors will present a Screencast (end of April) about the procedures and documents needed to apply for a U.S. student visa.
University Deposit
Please check the University website for the deposit deadline. Students should indicate their “Attending” University in Cialfo so the Final Transcript can be sent in June.

Virtual University Visits
College Counselors are sending information to students about Virtual University Visits. We are aware of the abundance of emails and do not want to over load the parents in-box too. Please ask your child about the virtual visits if you would also like to attend. Here’s one for tomorrow (April 18 EST):
Screencasts Coming
We will be announcing Screencasts on varying topics for both parents and/or students. Example- we emailed a screencast to G11 students about asking their teachers for Letters of Recommendation. College Coffee Screen Casts are coming toward the end of April, beginning of May. These will include applying to the: UK, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands.
Please do not hesitate to email your College Counselor if you have any questions.
